How to convert binary to decimal:
(1st digit) * 2^7 = (1st digit) * 128
(2nd digit) * 2^6 = (2nd digit) * 64
(3rd digit) * 2^5 = (3rd digit) * 32
(4th digit) * 2^4 = (4th digit) * 16
(5th digit) * 2^3 = (5th digit) * 8
(6th digit) * 2^2 = (6th digit) * 4
(7th digit) * 2^1 = (7th digit) * 2
(8th digit) * 2^0 = (8th digit) * 1

ASCII equivalents:
A = 01000001 = 64 + 1 = 65 
B = 01000010 = 64 + 2 = 66
C = 01000011 = 64 + 2 + 1 = 67
D = 01000100 = 64 + 4 = 68
E = 01000101 = 64 + 4 + 1 = 69
F = 01000110 = 64 + 4 + 2 = 70
G = 01000111 = 64 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 71
H = 01001000 = 64 + 8 = 72
I = 01001001 = 64 + 8 + 1 = 73
J = 01001010 = 64 + 8 + 2 = 74
K = 01001011 = 64 + 8 + 2 + 1 = 75
L = 01001100 = 64 + 8 + 4 = 76
M = 01001101 = 64 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 77
N = 01001110 = 64 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 78
O = 01001111 = 64 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 79
P = 01010000 = 64 + 16 = 80
Q = 01010001 = 64 + 16 + 1 = 81
R = 01010010 = 64 + 16 + 2 = 82
S = 01010011 = 64 + 16 + 2 + 1 = 83
T = 01010100 = 64 + 16 + 4 = 84
U = 01010101 = 64 + 16 + 4 + 1 = 85
V = 01010110 = 64 + 16 + 4 + 2 = 86
W = 01010111 = 64 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 87
X = 01011000 = 64 + 16 + 8 = 88
Y = 01011001 = 64 + 16 + 8 + 1 = 89
Z = 01011010 = 64 + 16 + 8 + 2 = 90
] = 01011101 = 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 93

Sooo, the hidden message in Groo #41 Page 5 is:

84 T
72 H
73 I
83 S
73 I
83 S
84 T
72 H
69 E
83 S
69 E
67 C
82 R
69 E
84 T
77 M
69 E
83 S
83 S
65 A
71 G
69 E
73 I
78 N
66 B
73 I
78 N
78 N
65 A
82 R
93 ]
67 C
79 O
68 D
69 E

"Binary" was mis-spelled.  The hidden message
should have read, "This is the secret message
in binary code."
